i think to the end of interview my eyes glazed over from: well, it doesn’t say so and i’m not for trump, but i’m against trump, and we have to support his policies, i love people, and these policies are bad but we have to support trump and bible says in appendix fuck em kids, and also i like trump, but i hate his policies, and i didn’t vote for him
Yeah, Douthat never succeeds in forcing her to square that circle. He’s clearly “outmatched” because it’s a friendly interview and it’s designed to make Stuckey surface-level palatable to his audience of Christians with a still-barely-functional moral compass so the obvious follow-ups never happen. It’s proof the Gish Gallop is still alive and well in conservative Christian circles.
